GGG: Yeah guys we gonna balance the game bla bla bla...

Headhunter 7 YEARS LATER: DANCE WITH ME BABEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

HH has been deliberately left untouched, as it's meant to serve as a twink chase item. There is no way to balance the effect it has - since it just borrows from the pool of rare monster mods which grant rare mobs the power to threaten us - that wouldn't mean nerfing it into irrelevance. See Replica Headhunter for a much weaker version - there's a reason that thing is much cheaper.

Headhunter is essentially separate from discussions around game balance - everyone agrees that it isn't balanced, but it also isn't meant to be.

The question here is WHY there's a need to maintain an item like HH untouched, and YES It can easily nerfed by tweaking the buff pool, as simple as that.

"everyone agrees that it isn't balanced, but it also isn't meant to be" Then WHY the need to balance everything else? MAybe they should balance all those USELESS skill gems who no one plays and they're like garbage content?

Guys, remember that this is a Harvest league, Harvest crafts will destroy these drawbacks. Remember that Maeven's orb is coming, and some mods will get even more OP. Also, most builds lost what, 1M dps from their 10M total? Will this actually break your gameplay?

The changes to Assassin are kinda bad because he lost MS, this I will agree with.
